Nice addition to the Wiki! (I need to do some of these for some of our setups)
Anyway, I am guessing that somehow your serial port was being either initialized for hardware flow control, or somehow Rivendell was not able to get it out of that mode. Any chance you have some sort of program that tries to start up that is doing this? Perhaps some UPS monitoring software, or a braille device? I sometimes see things like this installed in default Linux installations. Perhaps it then comes up after the Rivendell daemons come up and change modes on you? Typically they then quickly shut down when they find no devices. In any case it looks like you found an exotic work-around and with the nice info you posted, others can use it to do all kinds of things such as support of unsupported (by Rivendell) serial devices.

I don't know if this is the way it is intended to work or whether its a bug in Rivendell. Either way I had to write docs for work purposes so I added a page to the Rivendell wiki. Hopefully this explains this better for newbies coming in cold. http://rivendell.tryphon.org/wiki/Switchers Thanks for the help all, Wayne Merricks The Voice Asia
